Ep 41. David Allen: Getting Things Done

David Allen is the best-selling author of Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity and an expert in personal and organizational productivity. He teaches multiple courses on productivity based on GTD. His philosophy is based on the powerful realization that your mind is for having ideas, not holding them. There is a reason why GTD is a worldwide bestseller: David has broken down productivity to easy and actionable steps that anyone can take. In this episode, David shares his approach to work and life; it isn’t about creating separation. Rather, it is about creating appropriate engagement which is explained in detail during the conversation. Stew and David discuss the importance of getting things “out of your head” and onto some other place, one you trust. This is the first, and probably most important, of the five steps that David outlines to achieve productivity. Throughout the conversation, David shares simple yet powerful steps listeners to take to be more productive and fulfilled in all parts of life. Hosted on Acast.
